Chapter 564: The Great General Arrives!
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Zhang Ji became a bloody man, and his armor was filled with thirteen arrows, some of which were coated with poison.
Zhang Ji kept coughing, blood staining his spear red.
The Qin army from the Guanzhong region lost thousands of casualties, and some of the Xiliang soldiers who followed Zhang Ji around were almost all killed.
When Zhang Xiu led the reinforcements to kill, Zhang Ji was already dying.
"I am a general of Dong Zhuo's department, and I haven't done anything good in my life, and I can finally serve the court once, although I have no regrets about dying......"
Zhang Ji's consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
"From the Father!"
Zhang Xiu's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth, and Crassus's Roman legions killed Zhang Ji!
He stared at the eagle banner of the Roman legions, his teeth biting his lip, blood running down the corners of his mouth, as if he didn't know it.
"Kill!"
Zhang Xiu led Zhang Ji's old Xiliang department to assault Crassus, the commander of the Roman legions, intending to kill Crassus and avenge his father Zhang Ji!
Zhang Ji fell into madness, the spear was like a tiger in his hand, and one by one the Roman soldiers fell under his hands!
"Crazy, there are really a lot of madmen in the East, archers prepare!"
Crassus waved his hand, and the Roman archer took the arrow from the quiver and bent the bow to tie the arrow.
The Roman slinger took out the stones, and the whirling stones were no less lethal than the bow and arrow.
Dense rain of arrows and stones cover Zhang Xiu and the old part of Xiliang!
The spear in Zhang Xiu's hand swept out, shooting arrows and stones, and his wrist was numb.
The old headquarters of the Xiliang army continued to fall, and a team of Roman heavy infantry intercepted Zhang Xiu, and spears stabbed from all directions!
A spear stabbed Zhang Xiu in the shoulder from behind, Zhang Xiu endured the pain and turned around to kill a Roman heavy infantryman!
The defenders on the walls pushed the stones down, and the heavy stones rolled down the ladder, and the enemy soldiers attached to the ladder screamed, and at least a few enemy soldiers were killed by the falling stones.
Zhang He and Ju Yi guarded the city wall with halberd warriors and first ascended the dead soldiers, and suffered heavy casualties under the fierce offensive of the Mongol army.
The defenders of the walls faced not only the besieging enemy, but also the falling boulders and fireballs from time to time.
The fire spread on the walls, the wolf smoke was filled, and the defenders were burned by the flames from time to time.
Zhang He personally led his troops to defend the city, and the blazing fireball exploded around Zhang He, and the flying flames burned Zhang He's shoulder, and the Euphorbia was defeated because the main general was injured.
The Mongol army took the opportunity to march forward, and at least 300 people climbed the city wall, and the Yumen Pass was in danger!
At this time, Feng Yi personally commanded the troops to enter the city and counterattack the Mongolian army that landed in the city!
The soldiers were the elite soldiers recruited by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu in Hebei, and made great contributions to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu to fight the world.
This group of soldiers has the highest morale among the special legions of the defenders of Yumen Pass, and under the command of Feng Yi, they expelled the Mongol troops who landed in the city and recaptured the city wall!
Feng Yi couldn't help but feel a little tragic when he saw that the city wall was devastated, Zhang He was injured by the Xiangyang cannon, and that there were less than 400 of Juyi's 800 Xiandeng dead soldiers.
Yumen Pass has become a meat grinder, and even a famous general may be killed.
The great war between empires, millions of corpses and thousands of miles of bloodshed.
The Ben Ming soldiers were engaged in a battle with the Mongol army attacking Yumen Pass, and the number of casualties continued to rise.
Xiangyang artillery is still bombarding Yumen Pass, and the destructive power of this giant siege weapon is no less than that of the early artillery, which makes the defenders of Yumen Pass suffer a lot.
"Next, our Xiliang Legion will defend it, and Yang Shihou's silver spear effect festival can still fight."
Xu Fengnian was gray and blackened by the choking wolf smoke of Yumen Pass, which also had a paralyzing effect, causing the combat power of the defenders of Yumen Pass to decline.
Xu Fengnian's subordinate general Yang Shihou was a famous general of the five dynasties and ten countries, and the special type of troops was the silver spear service capital, and he fought with Feng Yi's soldiers in turn, and the soldiers and euphorbia soldiers were able to rest.
The cavalry of Wang Yanzhang, Ma Chao, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Li Hu and others was ready to attack at this time, and if the Yumen Pass was breached, they would lead the cavalry out of the pass, break through the Mongol army, and turn the tide.
In the pass are also the county soldiers appointed by the old Qin of Wuwei County to guard Xie Ai.
However, Xie Ai's county soldiers are not special troops, they are just ordinary troops, the highest is no more than the third rank, as a reserve, to recuperate.
Xie Ai didn't seem to be in a hurry, and ordered the county soldiers of Wuwei County to rest and recuperate to maintain their morale and physical strength.
If it is not a special class, Xie Ai's Wuwei County soldiers are the army with the highest morale, and their morale and physical strength are maintained at the peak.
"The walls and gaps of Yumen Pass can only accommodate 10,000 people fighting, so there is no need to rush up."
Xie Ai waited patiently for his opportunity.
The battle of Yumen Pass became more and more tragic, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed on both sides, so that the Mongolian army did not need a ladder, and directly stepped on the corpses of their comrades and climbed the wall!
The terrain of Yumen Pass is narrow, resulting in almost nowhere to stack the corpses!
The battle at the gap was also shocking, Crassus's Roman legions, 5,000 people, were killed and wounded!
The servant army, driven by the Mongol army, went forward one after another, storming the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army and the Sanhe Cavalry, and the two sides were tugging back and forth at the gap.
Blood stained the robe of the veteran Huangfu Song, and the wolf smoke made the elderly Huangfu Song cough constantly, but he still persevered in commanding the five schools of the Northern Army to block the gap in Yumen Pass.
"The will of the defenders of Yumen Pass is really strong, the Xiangyang Cannon almost razed Yumen Pass to the ground, and invested more than 100,000 troops to attack Yumen Pass in turn, but it was still impossible to take this pass."
The Mongol Empire's besieging lord Ali Hague and Prime Minister Yelu Chucai commanded a large army to attack Yumen Pass from a high place, and found that the Yumen Pass, which had almost collapsed, was still resisting stubbornly.
"Just a pass of Yumen Pass is so difficult to attack, if you want to conquer the Han Empire, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it for a few decades."
Yelu Chucai had a very high opinion of the Han Empire.
Before the original bronze cannon came out, the Xiangyang cannon was already the most destructive large-scale siege machine in the world of "Lord", and many fierce generals hated it under the bombardment of the Xiangyang cannon.
However, the Yumen Pass was continuously bombarded by Xiangyang artillery and was still holding on, so much so that the Mongol army used fireballs and wolf smoke to turn the Yumen Pass into ruins.
Originally, Ali Hague wanted to capture the Yumen Pass, take it for himself, and then block the Han Empire's army to support the Western Regions Protectorate, but now it seems that the only way to raze the Yumen Pass to the ground and re-establish a pass.
So this time Ali Hague used fire attack. Reading Temple
A group of Mongolian soldiers appeared behind Ali Hague, and Ali Hague and Yelu Chucai subconsciously looked back.
A big thick hand pressed Ali Hague's shoulder, and the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, Temujin, personally arrived!
"Great Khan, the last general will attack Yumen Pass is unfavorable, and I ask for punishment."
Ali Hague saw Temujin come back and pleaded guilty to Temujin.
"Ben Khan supported Hetao and Monan, and all of them failed, if you are punished for the failure of the attack on Yumen Pass, then who will punish Ben Khan?"
Temujin looked at the Yumen Pass, which was about to fall: "The plan to occupy Hetao and Monan has failed, and the Western Regions must be taken." Since the Yumen Pass has collapsed, then we will join our efforts to break it. ”
Temujin, who had not been able to gain any benefits in other battlefields, returned to the battlefield of Yumen Pass to provide legion bonuses to the servant army attacking the gap, and Ali Hague increased the power of the siege equipment, causing the pressure on the defenders of Yumen Pass to increase sharply!
Although Temujin was not good at siege cities, he provided field bonuses for the servant army and the Mongol army, and the servant army that attacked the gap in Yumen Pass was directly under the command of Temujin, and its combat power rose rapidly!
The Han army defending Yumen Pass felt the familiar sense of oppression, and sweat dripped from their foreheads.
The Great Khan of the Mongol Empire has returned to the battlefield of Yumen Pass again!
Xu Fengnian, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Wang Yanzhang, Ma Chao and others who were fighting bloodily all looked in the direction west of Yumen Pass, this familiar sense of oppression, only one person in the Mongol Empire had, that is, Temujin with the characteristics of "Genghis Khan"!
The pressure on the defenders of Yumen Pass increased, especially the Eastern Han Army, which defended the gap, and the famous generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun once again took on the pressure of Temujin head-on!
The morale of the servant army under the command of Temujin was boosted, and the gap was violently attacked, and the casualties of the five schools of the Northern Army increased significantly!
Temujin could consume the servant army with impunity, not treating the servant army as a human being, but as a consumable, but Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were distressed by the casualties of the fifth colonel of the Northern Army.
This group of five colonels of the Northern Army and the Three Rivers Cavalry who followed them, some of whom were veterans of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, fell one after another - in order to defend the Jade Gate Pass for the empire.
Holding a Han sword, Zhu Jun slashed and killed a Seljuk Turkic servant, and an arrow hit him in the right chest, which was blocked by the heart guard on his right chest, almost seriously injuring Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun took a step or two back, stood on the ground with his sword, stopped his body, coughed violently, and the impact of the stray arrow was obviously uncomfortable.
If this continues, the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army and the Three Rivers Cavalry may be wiped out.
There are more and more Mongolian troops climbing the city wall, and Yang Shihou's silver spear has suffered more and more casualties, many silver spears are broken, and Yang Shihou even personally went into battle with a gun to kill the commander who climbed the city!
Feng Yi led the soldiers to take over the silver spear and fight with the enemy army who landed in the city.
The two sides fought on the city wall, and the Mongol army fiercely attacked the city, and the city wall was littered with corpses.
The defenders' rolling stones had lost their effect, as the corpses of the enemy were almost as high as the walls, and they had to fight back and forth with the besieging enemy troops.
"If you go down like this, the Jade Gate Pass may be lost!"
Han Sui was hit by two arrows in his body, and he still killed the enemy with arrow wounds, and the unprecedented battle was beyond Han Sui's psychological capacity.
The Xiliang Legion has been stationed at Yumen Pass for a long time, and the consumption is extremely amazing.
"We, the Wuwei soldiers, should step forward to support."
Xie Ai, the white-clothed general, recuperated and sent Wuwei soldiers with complete morale and physical strength to support the city wall when the Han army was in danger!
The Xie Ai regiment was put into the battlefield in time to stabilize the defensive line, and the Mongol army retreated slightly, so that the Han army was slightly reinvigorated!
The cavalry of Wang Yanzhang, Li Hu, Ma Teng and others simply abandoned the horse to the city and assisted the defenders on the city wall in defense.
Rumble!
The Mongol army used a ramming car and a huge wooden mallet to bombard the gates of the urn city, and the city gate was about to be shattered!
The sudden outbreak of battle in the city of Urn shocked all the defenders.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the attack and defense of the city walls and gaps, and this time, the Mongol army also hit the idea of urn city!
The first gate has been breached by the Mongol army in the previous battle, and once the Mongol army breaks through the second gate, then the gate of the urn city will become the second gap!
"Li Hu, you lead the cavalry to save Wengcheng!"
Xu Fengnian had no choice but to temporarily dispatch military generals on the city wall, and sent the cavalry general Li Hu to block the gate of the urn city.
The Mongol corps broke through from three directions, and the defenders were exhausted.
Boulders and fireballs were still bombarding the defenders of Yumen Pass, and the defenders' physical strength was extremely exertional.
"Not enough, not enough."
The white-clothed Xie Ai shook his head, although there were a large number of defenders in Yumen Pass, the space of Yumen Pass made it impossible for both the attacking and defensive sides to put forward strong troops, once the urn city was broken by the Mongol army, the morale of the defenders would drop even more.
Morale is also an important factor affecting the combat effectiveness of both sides on the battlefield.
For the defenders, the loss of the city gates, the collapse of the city walls, and the death of the defenders will weaken morale.
Just when Yumen Pass was crumbling, the suffocating atmosphere facing the Han army suddenly disappeared.
The suppressive effect of Temujin's characteristic "Genghis Khan" is negated!
"Isn't it ......!"
Xu Fengnian knew that the monarch traits could cancel out some of the effects of the other party, which showed that there were also people on the Han army's side who had monarch traits!
He subconsciously looked in the direction east of Yumen Pass, and saw that east of Yumen Pass, an iron army was coming, the sand and dust were rolling, and the war horses were galloping!
"Finally caught up with ......"
Chu Tian rode a famous horse and led the Guards Legion from the teleportation array in Jiuquan County, and before all the troops of the Guards Legion were assembled, he heard that Yumen Pass was in an emergency, and hurriedly came to support Yumen Pass.
He could already see the billowing wolf smoke of Yumen Pass from afar, which showed the tragic situation of the battle.
The Iron Eagle Scout's war eagle spread its wings from Mulan's shoulders and hovered in the air, monitoring the Mongol army's every move while announcing the arrival of reinforcements led by the great general of the Han Empire!
A white-robed army is the vanguard, white-robed hunting, Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun go hand in hand!
The white-robed army has always been a sharp blade in Chu Tian's hands!
Temujin also felt that his "Genghis Khan" identity was neutralized, and the Han army at Yumen Pass was no longer afraid of his sense of oppression.
There is only one person in the entire Han Empire who has strong enough monarch characteristics, Tian Khan and Han Wu, who can counteract the coercion of Temujin - Chu Zimou, the great general of the Han Empire.
Temujin suffered losses in Hetao and Monan, and he never made up his mind to fight a decisive battle with Chutian.
Temujin rubbed his temples: "That guy with a headache is here." ”
